Startec Sucks! Complete rip off! Horrible customer service! I
signed up for the Philippines Unlimited for $25 through startec and
it has been one long headache after another. Calls never work! It's
been two weeks since I've gotten a single call to go through, and
I've been trying numerous times a day. Customer service is a joke
and refuses to help or provide even a refund. They are extremely
rude and love to place you on hold for 30mins at a time while they
"check your account" or "see what's going on". They never have an
explanation for your problems and say they'll put your name down to
speak to a manager when one is available who never gets back to
you! Dont waste your money with startec. Save yourself some
headaches and go with some other service. All we want to be able to
do is speak with our families back home at a reasonable rate, and
its services like Startec, who take advantage of that to rip off
people. Sorry sarah geronimo, you shouldnt place your reputation in
the hands of such an awful company

Startec Global Comm. is a money grabbing thief. When they want your business, they say we will notify you of any rate changes and take care of our customers, but the reality is, they never do and keep charging one of the highest rates in the telecomm. market. They take no responsibility and don't care about their customers. Their customer service and phone rep.s are the worst, bunch of foreigners who keep giving excuses. BE AWARE, DON'T SIGN UP WITH THEM!!!!!!!!!!! or lose your money.

To qualify as a working coupon, the link or code must provide a discount above and beyond what's freely available by default on the vendor's site.

To check this, first click the link and check that the coupon can be applied and does provide the discount described. Then, in a different browser, open the vendor's site (without using the Knoji link) and check whether that same discount is available to any user by default. If it's not, and the coupon works, then you've found a qualified coupon and can verify it and get your earnings. If not, you can verify that it does not work (explain why this is) and you'll earn a smaller credit.

Don't waste your time verifying invalid coupons! Before you receive payment, all your verifications will be reviewed, and if they are invalid, you earnings will be deleted. Verify only valid coupons in order to receive payment for this project.
